Steve-J 2016 / Feb 2016

Development of Steve-J in Laravel to what you see today.

After leaving Noisegate Media and starting work at Image+, I moved my site away from the Noisegate CMS and decided to develop the site in Laravel with it's own CMS.

I used the same design as the old site, but re-wrote it to use Bootstrap v3 rather than v2 and changed the colour. I also started using Git for version control of the website. Other technical changes included using Digital Ocean for hosting and ServerPilot for management. I also setup Let's Encrypt SSL certificates so I could enable HTTPS on my websites.

Features:

Responsive Design - whole site re-written in Boostrap v3 so the site looks good on mobile devices as well as computers

Filterable portfolio and photos - making it easy to select a category of photos or portfolio items to look at

Photo Gallery - with overlays displayed on hover to give more information about the image
